Answer 5

Hi There! Some birds dont have a big enough cranium for learning other than eating drinking and playing. If your talking about big birds such as a scarlet macaw, they are more socialable and have a bigger cranium. Some birds whistle because thats all they have learned. but by giving them more puzzle toys and attention and even sitting with them for an hour repeating yourself the can learn new sounds. Hope this helped you! -Lily Allen♥☻☺

Answer 6

SOMETIMES males are better talkers than females..ex: male parakeets are very well know for their ability to mimic speech, also some male cockatiels can learn a few words but the females in these species are not known to mimic human speech. Quakers,macaws ,amazons,eclectus however both males and females have equal ability to learn repeated words and phrases. They mimic us not actually talk and the theory as to why they do this is if they have been hand raised as babies to except humans and interact with a human they want to be excepted as part of our flock, we socially replace their natural flock when we take them in as pets. They are also extremely intelligent and can learn to mimic speech especially through training sessions where you spend 15 minutes repeating something in a clear well pronounced manner what you would like to hear the parrot say! It's a thrill the first time you hear them repeat something you have been trying to teach them!

Answer 7

it all boils down to personality all birds here talken if you own 1 your around it therfore it hears words. ex from when had birds (not dare to have 1 wit issues these days) male cokatoo only nosie he ever made was a screech when he wanted me. Next bird was family cockitial he whistle and try to say hello. Female cockatoo at another time was my sisters said hi feed me feed me and whined for food wanted to be hand fed(yuck).Brothers Macaw male same time as female cockatoo he said hi hi pretty bird pretty bird and play wit me.Are male parrot was my fathers before we got any of these and didnt say a word. Dont think when my mother father and I were in condo that the female parrot said anything either it was just the 3 of us before sibs were born and a whole lotta animals.
